Anyone here seen Kokoko! before? They sound awesome from the description. Thinking we might try to get there Wednesday.

Yeah. Pretty fun. Ideal for a daytime in the sun type set. Not sure when they are on at Primavera but worth checking out if not essential.

Like midnight on the Wednesday of next week. We arrive about 8ish so if we get our act together we might go down. Won't be daytime in the sun though!

That is exactly our plan (even hour of arrival).

Saw them once a few years ago. Very energic, and a lot of fun. I would see them again, but my flight arrives very late.

Ha maybe see you there! I know we'll be knackered but also we need to stay up late to get ready for the days ahead.

Cool! Thanks.

Only once as far as I know has a band played with no warning.

And only once I think has a set been announced <1 hour before.

A few times, they've been announced that morning.

So generally checking on here, say, the lunchtime of festival days and you'll be good.

It might be they don't do any secret shows this year but I'd be surprised.

Question, where did those acts exactly play? Since the schedule is alright full, I wouldn't even know where some sets might even be played?

Best thing to do is install the app, I see?

The secret Arcade Fire show (which I managed to miss entirely, despite being nearby) was held on a stage specially built for it.

I doubt they will be ready to go next Friday and based on what happened with Massive Attack I'm not expecting a replacement

[birchtree29]

Nine Inch Nails replaced the Strokes in Boston Calling

Lol Lorde as sole headliner in W2D2.

If they take the antivirals & test negative within a few days I don't see why they can't make it. As long as whoever caught it didn't have a chance to pass it along to others anyway.

I believer there’s a  4-5 days period after you test positive, before you can take the test again. They might be able to perform at W2 D2, but the possibility is pretty slim for W1 D2. Probably Little Simz or Caribou will be move to Mordor to replace them.

Yeah, Jamie xx was already bumped up to Mordor on that day (probably as a Brockhampton replacement)

[DDave]

Anyone but the fucking Strokes, man. Fucks sake

[JedTheHumanoid]

Currently on their site only Boston and Chicago are canceled. Omikron can be very light if you're vaccinated, a week should be enough

But if,  god forbid, they can bump Parquet Courts or Little Simz up to their spot and save us from that awful clash

[Whos3000_]

I don’t think they are going to make it. Beach house are free… if they just moved them one day earlier. They would clash with earl instead than with Tyler which is also a pain but still

[Whos3000_]

I think they will feel more prone to look for a last minute replacement though. Us on forums moaning about turnstile and massive attack is a thing. Thousands of casual festivalgoers who ask for refunds because of the strokes is another thing (same would happen with tame impala)

[Whos3000_]

Just checked and Tame impala are free on Friday w1. Please no 😂

[pipan]

So Girl Red, Charli XCX and The Strokes on the verge of health related cancellation. Which of my remaining must-see acts will be targeted next?

[FloorFiller]

Fucking hell, we all knew there was a likelihood of acts dropping out because of COVID but The Strokes are essentially the big draw of the festival. I would say surely if they pull out they’ll have to replace them, but after Massive Attack I’m just not so sure. 

[lighthouse]

As a Belgian, I’ve waited 21 years to see The Strokes. I only go WK1, so next week should finally be the one.

[TheFullShaboo]

Even if they do decide to replace them I’m not sure there’s anyone who could fill the void for me. Absolute gutted. 

LCD or Arcade fire probably the only two who could soften the blow. Or Phoenix and YYYs as a two for one replacement.

They haven’t cancelled. Primavera is still a week away.
